    I don't want to call players getting injured "lucky", but it always seems like the teams that don't need the luck get the most luck.

    That's why I advocate for cheating, lol.

    Looks like Dragic is likely out for the series with a possible achilles injury

    My interest in this series took a quick plummet.

    Was it the 17 injuries in the span of 10 minutes? That's what got me.

    I was watching the game on mute. When I saw Dragic look back looking for something that wasn't there, the universal sign of an Achilles injury, I knew he was done.

    The gap in the East and West is so huge man. I think any of the 7 other teams in the west other than maybe Dallas could’ve been in the finals if they were in the East.

    You think Utah would have made it over Dallas in the East?

    Two starters gone, the Heat have a chance, but it's probably not much more than 10%...

    Their leading scorer had a season ending injury. Their starting big man has a lingering shoulder injury. Losing 2 out of their best 3 players is a huge blow.

    That doesn’t matter. Heat already had a small margin for error. It’s over for them

    Not surprising. However with how easy the Heat got through the east (and how easily they destroyed the Bucks) I hoped that they could atleast interesting. The gap between east and west is as wide as it ever was. I agree with the posters that said that an team in the west play offs could have made it through the east (not saying they are all better than the heat, but any of them could have won the series against the heat).

    I hate that the Lakers are a powerhouse again. I hate everything about the Lakers. The only reason they are relevant is because Lebron wants to play in LA. Not because they were making good moves.

    If the WCF next year is Warriors-Lakers I am going to puke, because then I actually have to root for the Lakers....(Excuse me while I am going to stand under a shower for about a hour).

    Lordy, what a tough break for the Heat. If Dragic, Bam, and a hobble Jimmy Buckets out, wtf will watch the rest of the these NBA final games? Snoozefest...
